Details

There seems to be some blocking network IO going on when switching into private mode. I kept getting slow script warning on hotel wifi..and then when I killed them private mode got persisted into session-restore...which is what happens when something throws while entering private mode. This happened multiple times, so I suspect our users see this.

I can't imagine what is causing sync [network?] IO while switching into private mode.
What was the source of the slow script dialog?

some chrome url. I didn't take a screenshot.

We don't perform network requests on PB mode switches.  There might be pages which do stupid things like synchronous XHR on their beforeunload event handler (!), but I'm afraid there's nothing to be done here without more information.
